Volunteer Opportunities

The following is a list of nature-related volunteer opportunities. We would
like to strongly encourage our visitors to consider giving a helping hand to
conservation by donating some time to a nature-related organization. These
organizations cannot do it alone. Let's show our support.

If you are or know of an organization that is seeking volunteers, please
e-mail us and we will gladly include you
on this page.

Volunteers are needed to plant and replant the butterfly garden at the
Nature Center/Museum in Linn Grove, Iowa. We are located 22 miles south of
Spencer, Iowa, and 18 miles north of Storm Lake, Iowa. We have started a
butterfly garden but will need help expanding and replanting this spring,
probably in May. For further information, please can contact Marian M.

Millington, NJ - Needs volunteers from May through August. Work
includes cleaning and maintaining songbird cages, feeding baby birds, care of
orphaned waterfowl, and helping staff members as needed. Please contact Ellen
Goldberg at (908)647-1091 or (908)647-2353.

Watonga, OK - We are looking for volunteers
for various parts of our operation. We can use people with just about any
talent. We are especially interested in folks who RV because we have no park
housing. Volunteers can give visitor or school programs, operate the nature
center, enter computer data, participate in habitat improvement projects
such as tree and flower plantings and nest box building, trail building and
maintenance, exhibit design and roving interpretation. Any volunteers who give at least 30 hours per week will be provided with a
free RV or camping space. We have a beautiful park for those who are able
to take advantage of free time for this purpose. Like most parks, we are
extremely understaffed. Our address is: Roman Nose State Park, Rt. 1, Watonga, OK 73772;(580) 623-7281 ext. 311
